The TrainI like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a start its own,
Stop-docile and omnipotent-
A stable door.By Emily Dickinson (Personification) The Cat & The Fiddle Hey diddle, Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.By Mother Goose (Personification)

Eldorado
By: Edgar Allen Poe
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado. But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied
"If you seek for Eldorado!" (Assonance)
Humpty Dumpty Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together againFrom Mother Goose

Dewdrops Dancing Down Daisies
By Paul McCann
Don't delay dawns disarming display.
Dusk demands daylight .
Dewdrops dwell delicately
drawing dazzling delight .
Dewdrops dilute daisies domain.
Distinguished debutantes . Diamonds defray delivered
daylights distilled daisy dance .
